Abstract: Reasonable evaluation of production capacity is very important for gas well production. It is the foundation for the long-term development of gas field. The ultra-deep and ultra-high-pressure fractured tight sandstone gas reservoirs in front of Kuche mountain of Tarim Oilfield is characteristic of tight matrix and developed fractures. The seepage characteristics often manifest as the dual-media reservoir features of fractures and matrix. The entire flow process is divided into three stages: fracture flow, transitional flow and overall system flow. In response to the lack of targeted production capacity evaluation methods, the research has been conducted on the early production capacity evaluation formula corresponding to the fracture flow stage, transitional stage and on the long-term stable production capacity corresponding to the fracture porosity flow stage. The production capacity evaluation formula for dual-media reservoir gas wells considering the skin factor and the high speed non-Darcy coefficient has been theoretically established. The examples of calculation show that the result of production capacity formula is closer to the testing production than the conventional point method empirical formula, demonstrating good applicability in ultra-deep and ultra-high-pressure fractured tight sandstone gas reservoirs.
